Trademark

A trademark is a sign intended to distinguish the goods and services of one company from the goods and services of another company. The sign of a trademark can be a word, a picture or a particular color. Sound trademarks and 3D trademarks are now also eligible for protection. A trademark is entered in the trademark register in particular if the sign applied for distinguishes the goods and services of one company from those of other companies and there is no general interest in preserving the availability of the sign for competitors.
